  • Replacement Actuator For An Atwood 171
  • The Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator # DM72VR will replace your Atwood 171 actuator.

  • Corrosion Resistant Coupler and Receiver Locks to Secure Trailer
  • We don't have exactly what you're looking for, but I may have a solution for you. The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver & Coupler Lockset # e99039 has both a hitch receiver lock and a coupler lock that are keyed alike. However, they are not stainless steel. They're steel with double-chrome plating to resist rust and corrosion. If stainless steel is more important to you than having them keyed alike, the Blue Ox Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock # BX8858 will lock your ball mount to your receiver...

  • Which Hitch Lock Can Be Used on Kuat Sherpa for 2" Receivers
  • I may have a solution for you, but the Kuat Transfer had a threaded hitch pin hole that makes it compatible with the # HLT; this was not present in the shank on your Kuat Sherpa # SH22G. You could use a hitch lock like the ## HL2, but it would not provide any real anti-rattle prevention, but would provide a way to secure your rack to the vehicle. It should be noted that when you use a hitch adapter like the Hitch Adapter 1-1/4" to 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver Item # HTAD this does reduce...

  • We do offer a solution for a trailer coupler that's no wider than 5 inches. Take a look at the BOLT trailer coupler lock like # BL7032496.

  • Recommended Keyed Alike Coupler, Trigger Latch and Tool Box Locks
  • I may have a solution for you, but there isn't a tool box lock that's going to be able to be keyed alike with all of the rest of the parts you're looking at. The best solution to key everything alike with a variety of locks is going to be a couple of different BOLT locks, since they key to your vehicle's engine key and would provide you with the solution that you're looking for. If you've got a Ford truck, you'd want to use the # BL7032496 for the trailer coupler lock, the # BL7025290...

  • How to Level Trailer With Lock N Roll Articulating Trailer Coupler
  • I'm assuming you're speaking of a 2 inch drop on the ball mount you're currently using, is that correct? If so, the # 336VS503505 Lock N Roll articulating ball mount you'd looked at would allow for a 2 inch drop to properly level your trailer. The premise for a Lock N Roll is the same as for a ball/coupler. You want to put the vehicle side of the connection at the proper height so the trailer is pulled as close to level as you can get it. You'll also need the corresponding Lock N Roll...

  • Parts Needed To Tow A Jet Ski Trailer With a 2014 Kia Optima Hybrid
  • I recommend using the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C11025 on your 2014 Kia Optima Hybrid. Do be aware that your owners manual does have conflicting information that says it is not recommended for use with trailer towing. But it also states to make sure you account for tongue weight for total vehicle weight when trailer towing. If you have any vehicle warranty or concerns about this please consult your vehicle warranty or your Kia dealer. Curt recommends using either the 1-7/8" Euro Drawbar...

  • Parts Needed To Transport a 250LB Dirt Bike With a 1999 Honda Civic Sedan Or Hatchback
  • For your 1999 Honda Civic sedan or hatchback the Curt # C11207 is the highest capacity with 200lbs of tongue weight. Instead of carrying your 250lb dirt bike on a rack you would need to haul it on a small Trailer # K2MMT4X6. This means you will also need the 4-Way # 119178KIT to control the trailer tail lights. To connect to this particular trailer will need a Ball Mount # C45017, 1-7/8" Ball # 19256 and Hitch Pin # F-4. Other small utility trailers may require a 2" Ball # 19258 depending...

  • Recommendation For Tough Hitch Lock That Has 5/8 Inch Diameter And Fits 2-1/2 Inch Receiver Tubes
  • Hitch pins and hitch pin locks like the Curt Hitch Lock, Item # C23519, do not carry any weight so they do not have weight capacities. The weight is seated in the hitch, not the hitch pin, by the downward force of the tongue weight so something like the Curt Hitch Lock which has a 5/8 inch diameter and fits 2-1/2 inch receiver tubes will work well for you and your needs. I have attached a video for you to check out.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for Coachmen Catalina Expedition 192FQS
  • From what I was able to determine with some research, it looks like the 2021 Coachmen Catalina Expedition 192FQS has a 5040-lbs GVWR and 540-lbs tongue weight; you'll want to choose a weight distribution system based off of the tongue weight of your trailer when it's fully loaded, which should be at maximum 15% of your GVWR. I recommend using the Strait-Line Weight Distribution System w Sway Control - Round Bar - 10,000 lbs GTW, 800 lbs TW # RP66087 which is the perfect fit for your trailer's...

  • Replacement Swing-Up Trailer Jack for a 1985 Loadrite Boat Trailer
  • I have a few different options for you to add a swing-up trailer jack to your boat trailer, you will just need to know what the loaded Tongue Weight (TW) of your trailer is.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 1994 Jeep YJ For Dirt Bike Carrier
  • I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98859 for your 1994 Jeep YJ. I like this hitch because once the hitch is installed it has a hidden design. The hitch has a bolt-on installation. The hitch also has a matte black powder coated finish that will help keep scratches and scuffs that you get while towing less visible. To carry your dirt bike I recommend the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033. The trailer hitch has a loaded tongue weight of 350 pounds, so depending on...

  • Need a Ball Mount With a Drop to Use With a 2010 Ford Explorer
  • I have a couple of different options for you to use with your 2010 Ford Explorer that will give you the 8 inch drop that you are looking for and will not decrease the tongue weight. For a shank that will get the job done we have the Curt Ball Mount # C45090 which has a 6 inch Rise and the 8 inch Drop that you are looking for. This ball mount will fit with a 2 inch hitch receiver and is 11-1/2 inches long. Using it in the Drop position gives it a Gross Towing Weight of 5,000 lbs and a Tongue...

  • Available Trailer Spare Tire Carriers for Wheel with 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern
  • The only available trailer spare tire carrier we have for wheels with a 5 on 5 bolt pattern will be something like the Fulton Economy Spare Tire Carrier with Wheel Nut Lock # FETCSTL0701.
